Start the record
Prepare a requestThe assessment behind the stage diagram
Reviewers assess source integrity, correction history, accessible formats and conflicts. Public records and personal information have separate access scopes.
Editorial governance, public purpose and access arrangements define the proposed service. Funding and executive communication do not confer control over independent reporting.
Possible decisions and what follows
A public-service agreement, conditional recognition, required governance changes or reasoned refusal.
Publish material governance changes and corrections; preserve sources and the route to challenge exclusion or misuse of personal information.
Duties after the finding
Keep the scope accurate
Tell the receiving office about a material change in location, activity, operator, record custodian or requested result. The original receipt remains in the history.
Respect source custody
Provide purpose-specific references and authorised representations. Personal, clinical, commercial and protected scientific records have different access scopes.
Respond to a qualified finding
Read the conditions and the institution that owns them. A request for further evidence identifies the specific unresolved issue and the route for an alternative.
Preserve the follow-up
Publish material governance changes and corrections; preserve sources and the route to challenge exclusion or misuse of personal information.
Disagreement, assistance and evidence alternatives
A completeness query names the unresolved evidence and the alternative the receiving office can assess. An administrative complaint concerns service handling; a legal appeal concerns a finding and its competent remedy. A public petition asks a representative institution to examine a wider issue.
